World Health Organisation (WHO) figures show 50.7 percent of the population were overweight in 2010, including 18.2 percent classed as obese.
"There's a real problem. Since the 1960s the number of overweight people in France has risen from 500,000 to 22 million and it's going up every year," Dukan said.

shouldn't you reward the overweight kids for losing weight instead of rewarding the kids with eating disorder and bulemia??
